Hi Simon,
I can't reproduce my problem with the -23 kernel, I can't even find a
single bad block in my hard disk. I originally used breezy live cd to
find 2 bad blocks(3824128 + 3824139) on my laptop HD, and I'm sure they
were faulty. Those blocks were used by a mp3 file. Copying / moving
the file was always causing a freeze under dapper and reporting bad
blocks/sectors under breezy. Fixing the bad blocks with e2fsck, under
breezy, resolved my issue concerning that file.
I reran badblocks today with non-destructive read-write option and found
no bad blocks at all. e2fsck removed them from the bad block list and
added the 2 blocks to the free blocks bitmap. I did not try to rerun
badblocks from the breezy live cd yet.
I am confused and a little anxious about my HD fixing itself...
Charles
